Abdominal cocoon is a rare condition characterized by total or partial encapsulation of the small bowel by a fibro collagenous membrane (cocoon) leading to acute or chronic bowel obstruction. Diagnosis is usually incidental at laparotomy. Imaging plays an important role in disease management. There are well-defined radiologic clues in the diagnosis of abdominal cocoon. A high index of clinical ...

Spectral analysis has a very high sensitivity and accuracy, widely used in qualitative and quantitative analysis of textile fibers. This paper described the mechanism of spectroscopy in qualitative identification of textile fibers. Then it gave a systematic review and summary on the research of qualitative or quantitative analysis of textile fibers. It discussed the mechanism of spectroscopy in...

Strong γ-ray emission from cocoons of young radio galaxies is newly predicted. Considering the process of adiabatic injection of the shock dissipation energy and mass of the relativistic jet in active nuclei (AGNs) into the cocoon, while assuming thermalizing electron plasma interactions, we find that the thermal electron temperature of the cocoon is typically predicted in ∼MeV, which is determ...

RATIONALE Abdominal cocoon and peritoneal loose body are both rare abdominal diseases. PATIENT CONCERNS The patient reported in this case was a 47-year-old man who suffered from abdominal pain and distension for 3 days. DIAGNOSIS X-ray, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple peritoneal loose body and small bowel obstruction, characterized by a total encapsulat...

Gamma-ray emission from cocoons of young radio galaxies is predicted. Considering the process of adiabatic injection of the shock dissipation energy and mass of the relativistic jet into the cocoon, we find that the thermal electron temperature of the cocoon is typically predicted to be of the order of ∼ MeV, and is determined only by the bulk Lorentz factor of the jet. Together with the time-d...

abstract effect of selection index in four iranian commercial lines (107, 110, 153 and 154) on performance of their hybrids including 107 ×110, 110×107, 153×154 and 154×153 was investigated. selection index program was performed on all 3p commercial lines during 9 generations. next generation parents of 3p lines were selected in each generation, by construction of selection matrix based on heri...

INTRODUCTION Abdominal cocoon syndrome is characterized by small bowel encapsulation by a fibro-collagenous membrane or "cocoon". It is a rare cause of intestinal obstruction. PRESENTATION OF CASE A 42-year old man presented with sub-acute intestinal obstruction. Intra-operatively, the entire small bowel was found to be encapsulated in a dense fibrous sac. The peritoneal sac was excised, foll...
